It’s been coming; we were just too afraid to admit it. After Wigan’s cup heroics at the weekend, there was a possibility that they could perform the ‘Great Escape’ that they have managed on countless occasions, and in fashionable style, too. It looked like survival was on the cards after some impressive wins and vital

Due to various commitments through school and other means, it’s been a while since I’ve been able to write a column for O-Posts. I’d like to personally congratulate Manchester United on their 13th league title under Sir Alex Ferguson, and it’s a testament to him how well United have bounced back from that stoppage time

It’s been another fruitful weekend of Premier League football for us all to enjoy. It still remains to be seen who will be relegated come the end of the season; however I do feel that Reading are all but gone. I can’t see where they will get points from, as they still have to play

It’s been a busy Easter weekend in the Premier League and, as the saying goes; a week is a long time in football. It took Sunderland less than 24 hours to appoint controversial character Paolo di Canio who replaced Martin O’Neill as manager on Easter Sunday. It’s certainly strange timing to sack O’Neil with seven

Aston Villa 3 QPR 2 Aston Villa sent out a warning side to their fellow relegation-destined sides after coming out on top at Villa Park. However, they didn’t do it the easy way. It was an end-to-end game- one that both teams could not afford to lose. It was Harry Redknapp’s rejuvenated QPR who took

The surprise of this week came on Monday 11 March when Brian McDermott left his post as Reading manager. Despite the clubs recent slump in form, McDermott won January’s ‘Manager of the Month’ award and led the club to four successive victories in 2013. There are many managers that have been linked with the job

Tottenham 2 Arsenal 1 The North London Derby once again didn’t disappoint and, just as we all expected, Gareth Bale was on point. Perhaps he didn’t have a scintillating performance as many of us were hoping for, but he popped up with a crucial goal despite otherwise being somewhat ineffective. It was a cagey

The Barclays Premier League returned this weekend after some exciting F.A. Cup ties last week. Liverpool secured a 5-0 win over Swansea in what was the only league game last week. Congratulations to the Swans for securing a 5-0 win themselves in the Capital One Cup Final, too. Top Three Games Manchester City

This week saw loving figure Mario Balotelli depart the Premier League for Milan in the January Transfer Window, but the controversial figure certainly wasn’t missed this weekend! Top three games this weekend: Manchester City 2 Liverpool 2 If the reverse fixture way back in August was anything to go by, this was certainly

All of the nine Premier League fixtures survived the snowy conditions, and it certainly didn’t put a dampener on the games. Towards the end of the week, Southampton sacked boss Nigel Adkins, who brought the Saints into the top-flight with two successive promotions. The footballing world has deemed the decision as harsh and unfair, and

This wasn’t the most memorable Premier League weekend to date, although there were three matches that really caught my eye. Liverpool 1 Aston Villa 3 Brendan Rogers’ reign as Liverpool boss took another step backwards as Paul Lambert’s Villa took to Anfield. Lamert’s men didn’t enjoy the best opening to the 2012/13 season, although

Another great spectacle for us all to watch, savour and enjoy. I hope you enjoy this week’s premier league column, as it’s in a different style to the previous ones. I’d like to know your feedback, so feel free to leave a comment at the bottom of the page! Top three results of the

Newcastle 0 West Ham 1 In Sunday’s clash, Sam Allardyce’s West Ham took on Alan Pardew’s Newcastle United. I have been really impressed with the Hammers so far on their return to the top-flight, and manager Allardyce should take the plaudits for the recruitments he has made in signing some physical players that can cope in the

Manchester United 2 Arsenal 1 Robin van Persie showed Arsenal what they are missing. Not creativity, they have that in abundance, but a proven goal scorer. Arguably they have one in Podolski and Gervinho, but in recent weeks they haven’t been firing, and that’s because of poor performances and injury. Van Persie made an instant
